Mississippi State hobbled off the turf at Reliant Stadium with more than bruised egos. The Bulldogs' training staff helped three players off the field, who couldn't put any pressure on a leg. The worse of the injuries struck in the third quarter when quarterback Tyler Russell left the game with a head injury.

"I think Tyler overall is going to be OK. He was responsive," MSU coach Dan Mullen said. "Obviously any time you have that type of head, neck issues like that, you're going to be very, very cautious. We'll get more evaluations as we move forward."
